Based on my 12 years of working in the MT industry, I would like to give you some links to the companies who are stable and giving the best package. I have collected this information from my contact in the mt fields and they have worked in this company for more than 6 years and got their salary on time.

In case you have the info, you can also add at what amount they start deducting TDS and what is the deduction percentage. I have come across some companies that totally put a new meaning to the word baniya

If you come across companies paying 50 p for a line, you can come across a lot of baniyas. These companies are well established and run by professionals who have rose to managerial positions after joining as an MT. TDS will be deducted at govt rates.. 10.25% and HBTs can recover most of the TDS amout if they approach a good tax consultant and shows their various expenses like petrol bills, internet bills, electricty bills etc provided they are in your name in addition to the 1 lakh 80c deduction if you pay school fees for your children or have insurance or paying home loan after getting the form 16A from your employer.. if you are not working for a fixed salary. If you are working for fixed salary then you will get form 16, in which case you will not be able to claim anything apart from the 80c deduction

To anyone who feels secernate10 is a genuine guy, I have got evidence that the client has paid him and the client is in touch with me. This fellow is not to be seen. The amount is small, but fraud always pinches. Shiva Prasad, I had a lot of hope and trust. Yet, got a very bad treatment. My name is Krishna and my number is 8108435109. If I get permission from the client, I am going to post against Smart Medigraphs with evidence from the end-client.

For the past 20 days, I have been trying to reach him with no success. The only thing I was told is I would be called. But there was no call whatsoever.

Please see the following convo:

[6/11/2013 4:05:06 PM] pradeep er: i will send a mail to his yahoo id regarding this issue and that you have informed me about this
[6/11/2013 4:05:12 PM] pradeep er: and request him to make the payments
[6/11/2013 4:06:13 PM] Krishna Kanth: ok
I dont want to comment on other's experiences but in my case, it has been a total flop. My amount is very small, but for small units like us, it does matter. We have a bank loan to pay taken for the office and other things. No company is giving good rate, in 1.40 to 1.50 we run the entire show very stringently. The point is this is not the first time, but I felt very bad as our landlord embarrassed me slightly. I made the payment later on, but respect was affected. So I request anyone who is in touch with this guy, to kindly ask him to release our funds.
If the client permits, I will very shortly disclose their name also.

As in my case, I am getting my payment on time for the last 3 years (1.25 for editing 2.50 for trans) for night shift and I do not really have to reach out to anybody at SMGC in this regard, it is automatically credited to my account. In regards to formatting doubts or new specifications from the client, I can easily reach Shiva Prasad via the cell phone number that I have provided in my post or SMGC yahoo contact ID which is active 24/7 and keeps updating me about file status, and in fact a person from the office calls up to inform me about stat jobs on Sundays or during off hours and tells me to log in to clear them. Their website is stated in my earlier post. Now about the appeal by these guys to intermediate on their behalf, I think this is beyond my capacity.

Another thing that I would like to mention is that when I joined SMGC, they had just got a new account and the client's condition for going to DSP is that you should do 2000 consecutive lines with 99-100% accuracy in all files to clear for DSP. Only a few individuals made it because of this strict condition and there was a lot of heartburn for those who did not make it. So, it is obvious there were a lot of technicalities involved regarding the dealings between individual companies and SMGC regarding various aspects like minimum line count, non-DSP rates, etc., which I am not aware of and also not bothered about.

The fact is that I feel very awkward going overboard providing facts and figures supporting the company when in fact the company is not expecting this from me. The discussion regarding my original thread was carried to unimaginable levels by 2 individuals and I had not expected to prolong this thread after my original post. Therefore, I would like to say that SMGC is one of the MT companies in India and it is not the only company left in India. So, consider SMGC as just another link in addition to the numerous links you receive from various sources, to help you search new jobs. Any reader who feels like commenting may start a new thread and other can follow up... please end this thread.

Why close the thread when I am presenting a genuine case of fraud on me.......

secernate10 (5/23/2013 11:12:38 AM): i have asked them to do some golmaal and credit it in my personal account......

whereas in my previous post, I mentioned on chat record that the payment has been done to his brother.

Had there been one msg or communication that there is a problem and that payment would be made later, I promise I would have not uttered a word......some emergency.......just one communication......

Even to meet a police commissioner of a city, the estimated time of meeting is 2 days. Here, it seems for the past 20 days, there is no time......I still reiterate....just one communication through an sms or email or whatever, I would have never resorted to forums......I would have patiently waited....To all forum members, please beware of such people.....
